Food and different metals shouldn't either.

metal is best shit we got, mate.
stainless steel is OG all purpose.
cast iron is best for some use cases.
enabled cast iron is niche for the more elite chef.
anything is else is trash but willing to hear suggestions.
Ceramics.
Clay pots or bust, maybe the occasional meat on a stick
Science Luddism x Cottagecore I love it
What is enabled cast iron?
Enameled
Bet you aren't activating your carbons either
This is very specific since he even build up a little rice tower pressing up against the foil.
Well, you need food, metal and another metal all touching each other for this to happen. I've seen my sister make the mistake IRL so it certainly does happen.
How did she manage to do it? I usually only see people use this example for topping half eaten pots, which means the amount of food in them should be far away from the aluminium foil.

facepalm. Censorship absurdity.
That is your instance doing a shitty job of filtering.
That's probably your instance. It shows up normally for me.
ML lmao
You got that right think treatment lol
Elite Moderation, zero reading comprehension
Also, if you have a cast iron pan that is extremely rusted, get a brass bristle drill attachment and blast all the rust off with it.
After you have finished that and cleaned it, season it like the other poster mentioned and it will be as smooth as almost any Teflon you've ever used.
Geez, I hope people aren’t out there using rusted cast iron. That’s beyond ignorant.
I have found cast iron pans in the trash that were trashed because they were Rusty. Cleaning them, de-rusting them, and reseasoning them but them back into service and they are some of my favorite cast iron.
excess iron can be dangerous but how can anyone cook without fat... unless they wash it heavy duty soap every time.
My brother in law (a chemist) just soaps up his cast irons. He uses them every day and cleans them fairly soon after use. They look like pans you see in a magazine ad. Perfect.
strong seasoning?
Do yourself a favour and start using proper cast iron or stainless steel frying pans as well. You gotta learn how to use them, but it's a whole different level. I'm never going back to non-stick.
To get started with a new pan:
- Pour a bit of oil in it
- Dry it ALL up with a paper towel
- Heat up to high temperature, let cool.
- Repeat three times or so. This creates a coating of hardened oil.
Never, ever, wash with soap. If you do by accident, repeat the above process to coat the pan again.
When cooking:
- Heat up pan
- Add oil
- Add things into pan only when hot
- Use water or wine to deglaze when things get a little stuck. That's where you get deliciousness from - it's a feature, not a bug.
I use an old cast iron that's a bit rugged in the bottom for pancakes. It's the most amazing thing ever. I found it in the trash one day. The cast iron allows me to use a steel spatula when it needs to be thin, otherwise I use wood.
You can wash these pans with soap, you just shouldn’t abrade them. Soap isn’t going to remove the molecular bonding unless you’re scrubbing the hell out of it.
Also, Teflon’s a no go but I was under the impression ceramic is ok. Is anything wrong with that coating for cooking?
Ceramic loses its' non-stick properties quite fast, cause the coating gets porous.
I'm on year four of using a ceramic pan to cook scrambled eggs in butter at least 4 days a week and it is still pretty slick.
Is it other foods like acidic tomato sauces that mess with the coating?
Yeah our Fika ceramic pans aren’t that great anymore after 2 years.
I wash my cast iron with dish soap after every use and I can still slide eggs around in the pan. Definitely agree, though. I only have 1 non-stick pan that I almost never use. Stainless steel and cast iron are really the only 2 types that you need
A new cast iron pan should be washed with soap and water. They’re usually coated with something you don’t want to be eating to keep them from rusting from the factory to your home. You scrub that off and then season it.
I thought this is only something done to cast iron. Should you do this with stainless steel pots too?!
Greenpan FTW!
